Well he went to the dr's in the end. Not his GP but a locum. Says the pain/non movement of foot is probably muscular but has ordered a bone scan anyway. He also prescribed the painkillers my husband had a massive allergic reaction to in hospital!!!
Husband is grumpy and miserable, but I think it is just being in limbo that is doing it really.
His KC is a particulary rare type of RCC with sarcomatoid and rhabdoid features. They are still debating whether the clot on the lung is a clot or a tumour...
Think the Kalms are finally kicking in, the sickness is wearing off and the sweating is getting to a managable state I can now take the towel from under my arms....lol
The girls have just presented me with cards and gifts for my birthday and made me cry so just about to go and have a piece of early Birthday Cake with a glass of juice (oh the high life) let the phones ring I want my cake and I wanna eat it too.
Love Terri xx
Well last night was a rip raoring success, managed to eat some lovely casserole and even managed half a fresh cream eclair, I also managed to stay awake past 8.30 so was very chuffed with myself.
Woke this morning not feeling too bad at all, drove to London popped a Kalm cos I could feel that sicky feeling coming back. Trying to keep myself busy and not think about feelin sick but it seems to be unwilling to let go at the moment and I,m sweating big time (just lucky I have some trial samples of...
OK first time blogging so I'm not sure what I am doing.
God I could scream just about sums it up. I am fed up with his cancer!
I am worried and scared.
Came home from work this evening and he calmly informs me that he can't move his left foot properly. He sat on the sofa and sort of pulled his toes towards him, the right ones moved a good couple of inches, but the left ones moved maybe a cm. He then informs me that his arm feels heavy and his left hand feels a bit funny. He has had some...
Hi All,
Another positive today, I havent done the usual and come home from work and just crawled into bed. Stopped off at Sainsburys treated the whole family to fresh cream cakes (there's even one with my name on) and have managed to throw together a fairly good tea for all ...sausage casserole and mash. feel quite chuffed with myself as was feeling guilty that my other half bless him was picking up all the slack and more. If it keeps up like this they all might get a roast dinner out of me Sunday...
Just had results back from blood test - all ok for chemo tomorrow - first session - fingers crossed it works for mum. An occupational therapist came to see mum today and said, she cannot get a grant for a new bathroom with a walk in shower. Fine there we are then!!!!
Can't believe it's been just over a week since we were told my partner of 13 years had cancer.
It all started a couple of months ago when he started to get stomach pains. We started to do research and cut out wheat - at the time he was really fed up about not being able to eat pizza. To be able to go back there would be amazing.
He went to the doctor and they suggested laxatives which didn't help at all - next satge was a blood test. This came back normal, apart from the 'start of liver...
